From the recording Orijinal (En Bivo)
First recorded on Ora de Despertar (2016)
I wrote this song shortly after becoming a mother. One evening, my infant daughter was crying, and despite trying everything I could think of, I couldn't figure out what she needed. Love alone, I discovered, couldn’t solve every mystery that first year of motherhood.
Sometimes the only thing I could offer was my presence. Looking back, I can see that motherhood changed not only my life, but also the kinds of songs I longed to write.
Lyrics
Ladino:
Kualo tienes, presiada?
Si te sientes triste, o te tuya la alma
Te abrasare i te kitare la dolor.
Kualo tienes, presiada?
Si te sientes triste, o tu alma sta kansada
Te abrasare i te kitare la dolor.
Kualo tienes, presiada?
Si te sientes triste o tu alma tiene ambre
Te abrasare i te kitare la dolor.
Kualo tienes, presiada?
Si te sientes triste, o tu alma sta sola
Te abrasare i te kitare la dolor.
English:
What’s wrong my precious one?
If you’re sad, or if your heart is hurting
I will hold you and take away your pain.
What’s wrong my precious one?
If you’re sad, or if your heart is tired
I will hold you and take away your pain.
What’s wrong my precious one?
If you’re sad, or if your heart is hungry
I will hold you and take away your pain.
What’s wrong my precious one?
If you’re sad, or if your heart is lonely
I will hold you and take away your pain.
